From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 180

Chang'an City marked the first snowfall in winter, and it didn't stop until the evening of the third day.

Yang Qing sat cross-legged in the room, eyes slightly closed.

In his spiritual thoughts, he tried to control the spiritual energy to combine with his own ten kinds of true energy, but the result was that the spiritual energy merged with his body to supplement the true energy, and there was no special change.

All he has been thinking about these two days is how to try to interfere with the spiritual energy, and imprint it with a unique brand, so that it can be used by him.

Before in Luoyang, he was more at ease with the situation, but now that he has a clear idea of ​​the way forward, he can't help but immerse himself in it.

Luo Shixin had already been taken away by Shen Luoyan the day before yesterday, she and Kou Zhong Xu Ziling didn't care how to get the treasure and Yang Qing didn't care about it, and left everything else behind.

After a while, he tried all kinds of methods but still couldn't get the point. Suddenly, he heard a car and horse running through the snow outside the window and stopped downstairs, so he finally had to stop.

A moment later, following the sound of footsteps outside the door, Yang Qing waved his sleeves and opened the door, and saw Li Shimin walking in with a smile:

"I should have come here to thank you sooner, but I'm too busy with military affairs. Brother Yang, please forgive me."

Shaking his head, Yang Qing asked calmly: "I heard that you are going to lead the army to conquer Yang Wengan, why do you have time to come to me?"

"Yang Wengan is just a cover." Li Shimin sighed softly: "Brother Yang should also understand the struggle for imperial power, how dare a mere guardian of Qingzhou get involved in it?

He is just the crown prince's scapegoat, and my trip to Gyeongju is just a formality. "

Hearing this, Yang Qing understood.

Yang Wengan's rebellion did end with Li Shimin sending troops to conquer, but before his army arrived, the former was killed by his subordinates, and then Kaesong surrendered.

"Brother Yang is going to leave Chang'an soon, right?" Seeing Yang Qing smiling and saying nothing, Li Shimin turned around and said, "At this time, the army has assembled outside the city, and I will leave the city later, and lead the army out tomorrow morning.

After I leave, I'm afraid that big brother will make trouble again..."

"I was going to ask you." Yang Qing interrupted, "When will Li Jiancheng leave the palace soon?"

"Brother Yang wants to avenge his subordinates?" Li Shimin said with a wry smile, "I've heard about this, but now is not the time to act. Can you let it go for my sake, and I will definitely give you an explanation in the future."

"I'm going back to Luoyang in a day or two, and I want his hand before I go."

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then his eyes changed a few times, and he said slowly: "In previous winters, I would personally go to the city to visit the defenders and boost morale.

If you don't need to lead the army tomorrow, you still have to go. "

Yang Qing nodded slightly after hearing this, and said no more.

For such things as gaining prestige in the army, Li Shimin is not there, and Li Jiancheng is naturally on top.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Li Shimin turned around and saw that it was the messenger, so he apologized and walked out the door.

However, in the blink of an eye, he quickly walked back to Yang Qing and said, "Brother Yang, you'd better go back to Luoyang quickly."

Yang Qing wondered, "What happened?"

"I just got the news." Li Shimin said while handing over a letter: "Northern Liu Wuzhou and East Turkic Jieli sent troops south to threaten Luoyang."

"Luoyang?"

Thoughts changed slightly in his mind, Yang Qing remembered that Liu Wuzhou had indeed worked hand in hand with the Turkic people, but what he fought was not Luoyang, but Jinyang, that is, Taiyuan Mansion.

Jinyang's garrison was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. He was frightened by Liu Wu and Zhou Bingfeng and fled without a fight.

As a result, Liu Wuzhou's morale was greatly boosted, and he attacked the city all the way, hit the hinterland of Guanzhong, and approached Chang'an.

The Li Clan once wanted to give up Chang'an, but later Li Shimin insisted on sticking to it, and personally led the army to fight, all the way to completely break up Liu Wuzhou's forces before returning to the court.

The key point is that the north of Luoyang is Mang Mountain, and the pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is impossible for Liu Wuzhou to take risks to attack.

Just as he was thinking, Li Shimin said anxiously: "If you want to attack Luoyang, you must not bypass Jinyang. I'm afraid something will happen to the north."

"Brother Yang, this is an urgent matter. I have to go back to the palace to discuss with my father as soon as possible. Please forgive me for coming and going in a hurry. See you someday, Shimin will have a good time with you!"

Jumping off the bed, Yang Qing also bowed his hands and said: "There is a matter of urgency, you go quickly."

Li Shimin turned around and ran downstairs, and then the sound of urging the horse came from the street.

Yang Qing asked a buddy to deliver the food, thinking that Luoyang is now guarded by Pei Renji and others, and Li Mi is in charge, so it is unlikely that there will be any accidents.

So he finished eating unhurriedly, and began to practice the "Yoga Tantra" in the room.

In the past three days, the range of divine sense has expanded to more than six feet. Although it has not reached the limit, Yang Qing has faintly felt that the speed of improvement has begun to slow down.

Maybe it won't be long before I can break through the first layer.

His mind was immersed in the sea of ​​qi, and as time passed, he used his innate skills and began to move Zhou Tian.

Sleep peacefully until everything is done.

About two hours later, a breath of energy came over the snow, and landed on the roof of the building in an instant.

"Brother Yang, you haven't forgotten the promise you made with me?"

Hearing the sound, Yang Qing opened his eyes and got up, hung the long sword on his waist, then pushed open the window and jumped up, making a slight turn in the air and standing still on the roof.

Concubine Shixuan stood still in the cold wind in the middle of the night, the corner of her mouth was still smiling, but her eyes showed a rare solemnity.

"Have you found Shi Zhixuan?"

"I found Kou Zhong and the others." Shi Feixuan stretched her hand towards the north, and waited for Yang Qing to fly away before following him: "Actually, you could keep Shi Zhixuan that day, why let him go."

After fighting with Shi Zhixuan, Yang Qing always wanted to see the Scar of the Sky again, to solve some doubts in his heart.

One is whether the trace will only appear when the two of them meet, or it will also appear when they collide with other masters.

The second is if Shi Zhixuan reaches the best condition, will the trace change.

Of course he couldn't say what was in his heart right now, so he simply changed the topic and said, "Haven't you always taken it as your duty to help the world? Li Shimin came to see me in the evening, Liu Wuzhou went south, and Jinyang may have fallen by now.

Are you not worried? "

Concubine Shixuan sighed, "I'm an outsider after all, supporting Mingzhu is the ancestral training of the master, but too much interference goes against the purpose of our sect.

Now that Brother Yang has made peace with King Qin, there is no need for me to intervene.

This time the Chang'an incident happened, I will return to Jingzhai to practice, maybe I will never go down the mountain again in this life. "

"Support Mingzhu?" Yang Qing asked curiously: "How can you be sure which one is Mingzhu? Kou Zhong is also very good."

Concubine Shixuan hesitated to speak a few times, and finally said helplessly: "Brother Yang, forgive me, this is the top secret of my sect, and I can't explain it to you now."

Ever since arriving in Chang'an, every time Yang Qing talked with Concubine Shi, there was a weird feeling that couldn't go away.

I always feel that she seems to know something related to me, but after thinking about it, it seems absolutely impossible.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk now, she simply didn't ask any more.

The city of Chang'an covered in silver is cold and solemn in the quiet night.

The two of them flew all the way over the eaves of the city, with the clear sky after the snow and the full moon and galaxy above their heads.

When we left the northern city, we could see the Yong'an Canal, which had not yet been deeply frozen, flowing along the river channel into the Weihe River that went around the city.

In the middle of the river farther away, a towering ship was mooring silently.

The weeping willows along the Weihe River are now only dead branches, and under the thick trunks, there are four faint auras hidden in the shadows.

"Those four are the Four Great Sage Monks of Buddhism."

Yang Qing landed close to the city wall in the middle of the northern city, and Shi Feixuan landed beside him after showing Li Shimin's badge in front of the defenders on the city.

"It's Jiaxiang, Wisdom, Emperor Xin, and Daoxin, four Zen masters."

"Aren't you here when you're free?"

"Isn't it enough to have you here?" Just as Shi Feixuan spoke, her heart suddenly moved, and she reminded: "I know that you may want to prove martial arts with Shi Zhixuan, but he is not the best candidate.

Since you promised to help me catch him, you must not break your promise. "

Yang Qing's eyebrows hidden in the shadows couldn't help but twitch, and he tried not to scratch with his fingers: "I remember that I only promised to prevent him from getting the evil emperor's relic..."

After speaking, he avoided Shi Feixuan's probing eyes and stopped talking.

Waiting like this until the stars and the moon dimmed, and when the world was about to reach the darkest moment, Shi Feixuan finally reminded softly:
"coming."

Yang Qing raised his eyes and saw seven or eight boats loaded with cargo appearing on the water surface in the northeast, rowing towards the sea boat in the middle of the river.

With the help of the faint skylight, he saw all the figures on the boat clearly, but he didn't find the two figures of Kou Zhong, let alone Shen Luoyan.

It wasn't until he glanced across a boat tilted slightly to one side that he couldn't help but jokingly said:
"You just need to tell the defenders on the city at this time, and Kou Zhong and the others will be exposed immediately."

Concubine Shixuan shook her head and said: "I used to regard them as Li Shimin's obstacles, and I have formed a lot of rifts. Now that these two people are full-fledged, even a few blows will have no effect.

What's more, I promised not to interfere in the Jingnian Temple. As long as you don't stand by them now, I have nothing to worry about. "

Turning to look at Shi Feixuan, Yang Qing felt a little depressed:
"If you keep talking like this, I'm going to run out of patience."

After speaking, he stepped out of the shadow of the city wall and walked towards the river on the snow.

"Yang Qing!" Seeing this, Concubine Shixuan said anxiously: "What are you doing? Shi Zhixuan hasn't shown up yet!"

"He's already here."

Yang Qing didn't deliberately hide her figure, and her steps on the snow were a little heavy.

Not far to the northeast, not only the four holy monks hidden under the tree, but even the boaters on the river noticed his presence.

But he ignored it, walked all the way to the river, stepped on the river like walking on flat ground, until he stopped beside a cargo ship.

Under the horrified eyes of the people on board, Yang Qing raised his hand and tapped on the board: "Come out."

The sound is extremely soft, but clearly transmitted to the bottom of the water.

And because of his two taps, the fully loaded cargo ship suddenly stopped on the surface of the water, and it was difficult to move it.

Shi Feixuan also chased to the shore at this time, and looked towards this side together with the four great monks who appeared.

After a while, the surface of the water was churning slightly. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were wearing the water support, leaned out from the water with wry smiles, looked at Yang Qing and said, "Brother Emperor, can you feel our breath even at such a distance?"

"I can't sense it." Yang Qing shook his head and smiled: "I saw it."

"Impossible." Kou Zhong turned over and jumped onto the bow: "We are hiding on the other side of the ship, not underwater, unless you can see through the plank."

"Because you are hiding on one side, this one is tilted a few inches compared to other ships."

Kou Zhong said in amazement: "It's so dark, you can see such a small difference?"

Yang Qing turned to Xu Ziling and said, "Where's Shen Luoyan? Where did you deceive me?"

"Ahem, Brother Yang..." Xu Ziling coughed dryly, and also got on the boat: "Miss Shen is probably still in the city..."

Seeing that Xu Ziling was at a loss for words, Kou Zhong interrupted and said, "Brother Emperor, you can't stay here for long, why don't I send someone to find her out, how about we leave Chang'an and find land and treasures?"

As soon as he said that, Shi Feixuan on the river bank had already thrown a wooden branch, wading in with her strength, and jumped onto the bow deck in a blink of an eye.

"Xu Ziling, I won't ask any more about you and Kou Zhong, but you must stay with the evil emperor Sari."

Seeming to be very impatient with the condescending attitude of his concubine Xuan, Xu Ziling said calmly after hearing the words: "The relic of the evil emperor is not owned by your Cihang Jingzhai, why must I give it to you."

Concubine Shixuan's face remained unchanged, and she calmly replied: "I don't know why you have been resenting me a lot since you arrived in Chang'an, but other things can be discussed, except this one."

"Have I ever thought of discussing with you?" Xu Ziling said coldly, "I just don't want to be used by you again."

"Amitabha."

With the sound of the Buddha's horn, Yang Qing sensed that the four holy monks on the bank also stepped onto the river together.

It's just that every time he took a step, the river water flooded his ankles.

He can also fly over the water now, but after all, it is better to use the ice floes to make it faster, and he will not get his shoes wet.

"Little benefactor, for the sake of the common people in the world, please hand over the relics, and we will take them back for safekeeping."

Hearing this, Yang Qing frowned slightly.

It is true that Shi Zhixuan is a giant in the way of magic, but since his debut, he has rarely killed indiscriminately.

It is not true that he pretended to be Pei Yun to seduce Yang Guang.

The reason why the four monks hunted him down was more because of the Buddhist martial arts that Shi Zhixuan learned secretly.

Therefore, "for the sake of the common people in the world" sounds inexplicably harsh to Yang Qing's ears.

Kou Zhong smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "The people are suffering, the masters should go to rescue the suffering; Shi Zhixuan is a disaster for the world, you should naturally go to Shi Zhixuan.

Why bother with our brothers. "

"Kou Zhong." Shi Feixuan sighed, "I really don't want to fight with you two."

"Amitabha!"

Shi Feixuan's wrist trembled slightly, as if she was about to draw out the long sword behind her at any moment.And the Buddha's name of the four holy monks is not as full of persuasion and kindness as it was at the beginning, and it has more of a vajra's angry look.

Seeing that the movement here has attracted the attention of the defenders in the distance, someone at the top of the city held a torch to make a signal, and someone in the northwest responded immediately with a fire, as if they were going to patrol here.

Kou Zhong turned his head and met Xu Ziling's eyes, his face was full of solemnity.

He suddenly looked at Yang Qing and asked, "Brother Yang, which side are you on? We are in the same group."

Yang Qing smiled and said, "I want relics."

"You..." Kou Zhong looked back at Xu Ziling with a wry smile, "I forgot that I played tricks on his subordinates just now, and now I'm being caught."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Brother Yang, do you want to be driven by Cihang Jingzhai?"

"It's not driving." Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Have you absorbed the skills left by the successors of the evil extreme sect in the relics?"

Seeing that there was a discussion, Kou Zhong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Little brother has not opened the box where the relics are sealed, and is about to share it with you, the emperor."

"Yang Qing!" Shi Feixuan's tone suddenly turned cold: "Don't forget you promised me."

Yang Qing seemed to have never heard of it, and reached out to Kou Zhong: "Take it out."
